I guess I'll be that guy...what exactly is this referencing? What is "this problem"?

This is the NCAA making rules and Texas A&M saying we don't follow your rules we follow state rules.

Oh. "Rules."

That sure clears it all up.

ESPN wanted to know if we were going to comply with the horns down penalty rule.

You know if you click on the link above and do some minor scrolling there is a full transcript of the NCAA clarifications. The important takeaway to me is that A&M's AD is saying that we follow established state rules not the NCAA rules.

Tell the ncaa's boss Saban to have some cheese with that whine!

Whatever happend with UNC creating fake classes to help athletes get a higher GPA?

Oh that's right, NOTHING

Adios NCAA, little late for you to be panhandling Congress. You are not needed, good bye!

In a clear message, the NCAA says that schools may not provide assets - “tickets, suite access, club seating” - to donors for NIL giving. It is the 2nd time the NCAA seems to be taking aim at Texas A&M, which announced such a plan earlier this spring.https://t.co/2o4f04SXOZ

NCAA thinking it can supersede state and federal laws. It can't.

The NCAA 100% can in this case. The state law just says what universities can do not what they are required to do. So the NCAA could, in theory restrict schools.


But they won't win. They've already ****ed up from the start

I'm starting to like this Bjork guy.
With every "blue blood" operating like it's the wild west since forever with the ncaa turning a blind eye. Now it's our turn with the backing by the state of TX and it's ruffling the order of the old regime.
Love it.

Whatever happens I just hope we have good lawyers.

The NCAA already lost. This reeks of desperation to hold on to the illusion of having power.

Whatever we get away with only opens the door for university of cancer to do 10x

Why is A&M the example? Probably because of Saban. t.u. is doing the same thing and giving cars, and strippers with monkeys to players. Duh.

Here is the full context of the discussion:

The NCAA national office is sending schools some NIL clarifications today that prohibit some of what is allowed in progressive state laws -- setting up a potential conflict that would once again test its legal ability to enforce its rules.

These new rules will force schools in states like Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas to choose between maximizing what their state laws permit and what the NCAA allows.

If the NCAA pursues sanctions against a school in Texas, they will be challenging part of the new state law there that says the NCAA isn't allowed to punish schools in Texas for utilizing some of these new NIL tools.

When I asked Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork about this potential conflict earlier this week he told me:

"The state law is going to govern how we do business. ...in terms of this, the state law will will reign. And that's how we'll move forward."


This, I assume, is related to the 12th Man Foundation's recent transformation into a NIL collective. Other colleges and the NCAA were outraged/up in arms by this announcement earlier this year.

That's probably where we're headed and what this is really circling around, and whatever you think about NIL, the NCAA, or the Texas Legislature, its not exactly crystal clear that any state legislature can dictate that a national organization cannot have membership rules.

The Brazos Valley NIL/NFL Academy has spoken.

The NCAA's behavior was viewed as broadly monopolistic. And with respect to just competing on educational benefits they lost* 9-0 in NCAA v. Alston…NINE TO ZIP. That's what a forfeit looks like in baseball…

I get a thrill up my leg thinking about all that NCAA brass losing their do-nothing millionaire jobs.

The NCAA continues to show their ineptitude and complete lack of leadership. They could have been ready for the NIL ruling. They could have embraced it and implemented it correctly instead of sitting around in their country clubs drinking cosmos and wondering what went wrong. In a last ditch effort to regain some dignity, this is the line they have drawn and it's with us. There arbitrary enforcement of the rules for all these years has caught up to them. Their mafia tactics is about to get sent to court.

It's a little more than a few membership rules after the Supreme Court basically handed the NCAA their rear ends and made it clear that these rules won't stand up in court.

It is a cluster F out there and every school thinks they need more NIL money for these kids. I really don't see an end in sight. Just quit pretending we are the only ones not doing it!!
I think we started it!! And all legal and above board.

It's absolutely appalling how much money they make at a "non-profit" trying to make sure student athletes don't get paid.

University of Cancer is already doing it now (and probably worse)...

You know, I did click on it, and did some "minor" scrolling. It just shows the same tweet and a bunch of replies. it does not detail any rules. sorry for asking what the vague tweet was and commenting on your vague response when i asked what the post was about. Maybe i clicked on the wrong place to show whatever it was referencing. i don't use twitter, but it didn't pull up any information that revealed what the tweet was about.

thank you.

NCAA trying to get toothpaste back in the tube.

NCAA is still currently in a position of power. They're certainly wilting and have failed to act in other cases.

It's a Russian roulette considering how the SEC has not given a **** about gentlemans agreement regarding tu. We can try to tango but if they hit us hard then what response do we have?

Perfect name for them. Its what they do to everyone around them.

They just want money and a semblance of power. Always follow the money( or lack there of in Alabama)

Statement will come back to haunt us when tu gets the state to pass the horns down law.

So…….when does our probation start?
